Enter Leontes, Hermione, Mamillius, Polixenes, [Camillo], [and Attendants].
Pol. Nine changes of the watery star [hath] [been]
The shepherd's note since we have left our throne
Without a burthen: time as long again
Would be fill'd up, my brother, with our thanks;
And yet we should, for perpetuity,
Go hence in debt: and therefore, like a cipher,
Yet standing in rich place, I multiply
With one 'We thank you,' many thousands [moe]
That go before it.
